DIY Friday – Cupcake Flags

So far I’ve posted lots of lovely DIY projects from other people, but I thought it was about time I started to do some myself! I like to try out new things at the weekend, so I thought I’d post it on a Friday ready for your weekend.

I thought I’d start with something easy – cupcake flags. I’ve been quite obsessed with pretty pictures of cupcake flags recently and thought I’d give designing and making my own a go. And I’ve put together a free download (pdf) of the flags to print out yourself.

All you need is…

  • printed flags (download PDF)
  • scissors
  • 12 cocktail sticks
  • double sided tape

It took me… less than 30 minutes

It cost me… nothing! I already had all the supplies in, but even if you’re missing something it won’t cost much.

Cut the flags out of the printed pdf

fold the flag over to make a crease where the stick will go and then unfold

Wrap double sided tape around the top of the cocktail stick and place inside the flag on the crease. Stick a triangle of tape to the pointy edge of the flag.

Fold the flag in half around the cocktail stick and stick the two sides together

Et voila… you have a lovely bunch of little cupcake flags…

Now all you need is the cupcakes to stick them in! So I think the next DIY Friday has to be my vanilla cupcakes, and as I’ve promised my other halves mother I’ll bring some round for tea and now I’ve promised you a post about them, I have no excuses! I just have to remember to buy the ingredients…
